Reviews for Etude House - Play 101 Pencil 0.5g

I tried out two shades, one shimmery and one matte. The pigmentation is good in both, but the texture is very dry, especially for the matte pencil (Shade 19). Even though this is marketed as multi-purpose, it's a little hard to use due to its texture, especially for the eyes where it can be too hard to apply. It is very long lasting on the lips due to the drier formula, but I would still prefer something creamier. Not a fan of the shimmery pencil, the glitters are quite chunky, and only suitable on the eyes. Even then, it leaves more glitter than colour on the eyes. .

I got my Etude House - Play 101 Pencil from an online shopping website because they were on sales! But you can easily get it at any Etude House store. The packaging is chic and really easy to use and really handy ; they also come with a sharpener to sharpen your blunt pencil after you use at the other end of the product. They came in different type of colours and texture but the best part is you can use the same pencil on the lip,eyes,cheeks and etc..go creative! There are matte, shiny and creamy texture for different colours. I bought #1(black), #50(brown), #42, #6 , #8, 12, and #23 ; #1 and #50 are more suitable to be eyeliner and they are waterproof (no kidding) and smudge proof ;#42 are ash brown which suitable for eyebrow which is also water & smudge proof ;#6 is shiny texture with the colour beige ;#23 & #12 are creamy texture of different shades of red for cheeks or lips.

Because of the Producer 101 Programme, this product becomes a hit once it comes out!

It is handy and playful as it can work as lip liner, blusher, even eyeshadow and, eyeliner as well.

So far I brought four of them and I think is quite useful to work as eyeliner for me for lower eyelids.

This is not smudge proof so it doesn't work well for me as upper eyelids eyeliner pen.

The colour and shimmering powder are really delightful and pigmentation can really stay.

Not water proof and smudge proof is the bad sides of the product but it is really lightweight easy to carry around and easy to use with multicolours. Of course if you want to use as a lip liner get those without shimmering will be nice. In the end you still need at least three of them if you want to complete your look. I can't really be so versatile to use the same pen for lip liner , blusher and eyeshadow. After all, For eyeshadow , get few colours to complete the look, a light one as base and also highlighter, a darker for eyelids crease and a in between for refiner colour.

There are similar products in the market, but I would say yes again for it for the pigmentation and shimmering effect.

I bought number 28, 20, and 11. The all work so creamy. 28 is a glittery iridescent light pink pencil. This I use to highlight my inner corners and my lips. It is not chunky at all. I dont really use this on my cheeks as highlighter because it is really subtle.It does give you a brightening effect instead. 20 and 11 i use as lip liner, lip tint, blusher and eyeshadow. they are really multipurpose and i could easily sneak it to school. They are pigmented and matte. However they can be a little dry in texture so i would apply lipbalm before using them on my lips. These are really fun to use and I highly recommend them.

These pencils are versatile and suitable for face, lips, eyes and even cheek use. They are really creamy and it takes little effort to get the pigments on your skin. Comes in a wide range of shades for an affordable price. I bought shade 1 to use as an eyeliner and it is definitely water and smudge proof, needless to say the lasting power is amazing.

Sensitive

Indicators:

Redness

Itching

Burning

Dryness

Often prone to acne or other skin irritations.

Broken capillaries at the cheeks and flaking or scaling skin

Sensitive skin is prone to damage from environmental factors (wind, sun and cold weather). Your skin is often red and blotchy and allergy to cosmetics is common. Use fragrance-free facial washes and moisturisers and it's best to avoid skin exfoliants.

If your skin is sensitive, try to find out what your triggers are so you can avoid them. There are many possible reasons, but often it's in response to particular skin care products.

Your skin type is

Oily

Indicators:

Enlarged pores

Dull or shiny, thick complexion

Blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes

A sheen that develops quickly after cleansing

Oiliness can change depending upon the time of year or the weather.

Things that can cause or worsen it include:

Puberty or other hormonal imbalances

Stress

Heat or too much humidity

To take care of oily skin:

Wash it no more than twice a day and after you sweat a lot.

Use a gentle cleanser and don't scrub.

Don't pick, pop, or squeeze pimples. They'll take longer to heal.

Look for the word 'noncomedogenic' on skin care products and cosmetics. This means it won’t clog pores.

Your skin type is

Normal

Indicators:

None or few imperfections

No severe sensitivity

Barely visible pores

A radiant complexion

An even skin tone with no flaking or sheen

Not too dry and not too oily

Your skin is smooth and radiant because it reflects light evenly. Your complexion is balanced (not too oily or too dry), and you rarely have breakouts. You don't notice any changes in your skin throughout the day and can try many kinds of products without having a reaction. With no signs of oily or dry areas, the skin is soft and smooth with good elasticity and firmness. Your skin's pores are small to medium sized. It is best to use products that maintain hydration and water-based moisturisers.

No apparent oily or dry areas and skin appears balanced. It is the least problematic of all skin types. Your complexion is supple, healthy and clear with good circulation.

Normal skin can fluctuate between all the skin types, but won't do so radically or for an extended period of time. While it’s the ideal skin type, it still requires regular care to keep skin and oil production in healthy unity.

Your skin type is

Acne-prone

Indicators:

Acne-prone skin can tend toward the oily side, but is often a combination of all skin types. Sometimes referred to as combination skin, acne-prone skin can also be dry, sensitive or mature. The obvious factor of acne-prone skin is raised lesions appearing on or under the skin.

Though spots can be painful and irritating, it is important to be gentle with skin. Try not to pick or squeeze spots and let them heal on their own. A natural spot treatment and a selection of natural and organic products formulated with spot treating remedies will help. Be sure to pay close attention to your diet and any external factors that may trigger spots to appear.

Your skin type is

Dry

Indicators:

Almost invisible pores

Dull, rough complexion

Red patches

Your skin is less elastic

More visible lines

Your skin can crack, peel, or become itchy, irritated, or inflamed. If it’s very dry, it can become rough and scaly, especially on the backs of your hands, arms, and legs.

Dry skin may be caused or made worse by:

Your genes

Aging or hormonal changes

Weather such as wind, sun, or cold

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning beds

Indoor heating

Long, hot baths and showers

Ingredients in soaps, cosmetics, or cleansers

Medications

Your skin type is

Combination

Indicators:

Blackheads and acne at the T-zone with large pores.

Dry skin around the eyes and cheek.

Oily skin at forehead, nose and chin.

Oily areas are generally yellowish while the dry areas are sensitive and reddish.

Uneven skin tone and appearance of freckle and spot-prone.

Skin around the edges of the face can be flakey and dehydrated

Your skin can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin). Many people have this type. Slightly different care in different areas maybe needed.

With a little tender loving care, it is possible to tame combination skin. The key to balancing oiliness and dryness is with gentle cleansers and regular exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and combat acne. Regular exfoliating could mean anywhere from daily to weekly, and it's best to let your skin decide. Water-based products are ideal.
